“Zeal for thy house consumes me”

— Psalm 69:10

The Bishop’s Appeal provides essential support for the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter’s core mission of evangelization.

Through this annual appeal, you can provide for services and programs that will widen the Ordinariate’s ministry to those who seek full communion with the Catholic Church, and to those within the Church whose faith has grown lukewarm. Gifts to the Bishop’s Appeal support ministries that cannot be accomplished by one Parish alone. Together, we can meet the needs of our growing Ordinariate!

In his letter to the faithful asking for their support of our shared mission, Bishop Steven J. Lopes explained the theme of this year’s campaign, “Zeal for thy house consumes me”:

“Zeal indeed consumes us, as we work hard to strengthen our communities, provide solid formation for our future priests, and bolster the structural and administrative foundation for our diocese to support our Parishes and clergy into the future.”

Your gifts will make possible the essential ministries needed to lay a solid structural foundation to support our Parishes and clergy into the future.

Can you respond to God’s unreserved generosity towards the Ordinariate through support for our evangelizing mission?
